Director: David Ayer
Cast: Jason Statham, David Harbour, Michael Peña, Jason Flemyng, Arianna Rivas
A Working Man is a 2025 action thriller directed by David Ayer, starring Jason Statham as Levon Cade — a former covert operative who has traded his dangerous past for a quiet life in construction, raising his daughter, until a missing child forces him back into a world he tried to leave behind.
What is A Working Man about?
Levon Cade has spent years building something ordinary: a steady construction job, a home, a relationship with his daughter. He is not hiding exactly — just trying to be present for the life he nearly lost. When a teenage girl from his neighbourhood disappears without a trace, the people closest to her have nowhere else to turn. They ask Levon for help, knowing something about him that his new life does not show on the surface. Reluctantly, he steps back into the shadow network he once navigated with lethal efficiency — counter-terrorism, criminal underworlds, men who trade in human beings. What follows is a methodical and violent search for the girl, driven not by duty or money, but by the simple conviction that an innocent person deserves to come home.
Cast & crew
Jason Statham brings his signature controlled intensity to Levon Cade, giving the role a quieter register than many of his earlier action outings. David Harbour plays against type in a supporting role that adds moral texture to the story. Michael Peña and Jason Flemyng round out an ensemble that keeps the film grounded even when the action escalates.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers and the Iranian diaspora, A Working Man fits squarely in the tradition of hard-boiled action films where a reluctant hero is pulled back into violence to protect the vulnerable — a genre that travels exceptionally well across cultures. The film's theme of a man trying to be a good father while carrying a dangerous past resonates deeply with diaspora audiences who understand double lives and the weight of reinvention. The film is available on K-Time with a full Persian dub as well as Persian subtitles, so viewers can choose the experience that feels most natural — whether watching alone or with family members who prefer their native language.
